Description

Tourism to Hawaii is back and growing stronger than ever (the numbers were up by 3% in 1995 and by 5% in 1996, with increasing numbers of Canadian and Asian visitors). Growth promises to continue, with a brandnew $200 million state-of-the-art convention center set to open in Honolulu in 1998. Hawaii is also poised to allow gay marriages -- if this measure is approved in 1997, we'll see an explosion in the number of gay visitors.

Completely rewritten this year by two noted local journalists, Frommer's is the premier guide to Oahu, from the restaurants, nightspots, and vibrant cultural scene of Honolulu to lesser-known spots on the north shore where you can escape the crowds. No other guide comes close to matching our coverage of the island's beaches, golf courses, and adventure offerings.
